I was at the doctor's office yesterday and picked up a copy of Time which contained "The 100 Most Important People" listing for this year. Not sure who chose the list, but it included Glen Beck, for God's sake.

Each description of the person was written, not by the Time staff, but by some person who is an inveterate cheerleader for that person. The one for Glen Beck, for instance, was written by Sarah Palin. The one for Barack Obama was written by, as I recall, David Axelrod.

About Me

I grew up in the Air Force, and served in diesel-electric submarines during the Cold War. I worked in the steel industry until it sort of died in the 80's, then in landscape management until recently, when health issues demanded retirement.

I believe government should intrude in the lives of its citizens to the minumum possible degree, but I also know that it must be big enough to
"get the job done." To me the job of government includes concepts that are usually thought of as liberal such as stringent regulation of necessary monopolies, regulating all business enough to prevent it from becoming predatory, providing necessary
comfort to citizens who are rendered destitute by calamity outside their reasonable control, and protection of our environment and natural resources.
